EMBROIDERY-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 671,474, dated April 9,1901.

Application filed March 10,1900. Serial No. 8,119. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known-that I, RALPH R. ESSIG, a citizen of the United States,residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Embroidery-Rings, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The invention relates to embroidery-rings.

The object of the invention is to provide an embroidery-ring which shallbe simple of construction, durable in use, and comparatively inexpensiveof production, and which will more securely hold the goods in place thanthe rings now generally used.

With this object in View the invention consists in certain features ofconstruction and combination of parts, which will be hereinafter fullyset forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of myimproved embroidery-ring. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View throughthe two hoops constituting the ring, the outer continuous face of theinner hoop being beveled.

In the drawings the same reference characters indicate the same parts ofthe invention.

a, denotes the inner hoop, and b the outer hoop, the former being ofless diameter than the latter and adapted to snugly fit within theperiphery of the same.

Referring to Fig. 2, I have shown the outer face of the inner hoopbeveled, so that when the piece of material is placed upon the innerhoop and'the outer hoop forced over the ma terial it will more securelyretain the material in position and prevent it from being pulled orstretched from between the two hoops.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details ofconstruction may be resorted to without departing from the principle orsacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-- Anembroidery-ring comprising two hoops of unequal diameter, the contiguousface of the inner hoop being beveled, the contiguous face of the outerhoop being straight, and the adjacent upper edges of said hoops beingspaced apart, substantially as described and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

RALPH R. ESSIG.
